John Sangster
Artist and Composer
Sangster's career has been an odyssey through the various stylistic movements that characterise Australian Jazz.
Eric Myers, NSW National Jazz Co-ordinator John Sangster was one of the most talented of all Australian jazz musicians, a technician and creator who embraced and understood more styles of the music than any other. He was an expert drummer and vibraphone player, a soulful trumpeter and, in arranging and composing, he always took into account the personality of the exponent. |
